Which 3080 would you pick?

[Poinkachu]

Thinking to upgrade to 3080 so I browsed local market and found these 2.

Since I am not too savvy with the effect of clock speed, here I am asking you guys' opinion.

OC mode : 1740 MHz (Boost Clock)
Gaming mode : 1710 MHz (Boost Clock), GPU Base Clock : 1260 MHz

Bandwith : 912,4 GB/s

ROG Strix 3080 10gb OC        $1000
OC Mode - 1935 MHz (Boost Clock)
Gaming Mode (Default) - GPU Boost Clock : 1905 MHz , GPU Base Clock : 1440 MHz

Memory Bus : 320 bit
Bandwith : 760,3 GB/s

Don't mind the pricing, it's just how it is in my country. Highly doubt it'll go lower.
My usage is half gaming, half productivity.
More Vram & higher bus/bandwith better? or ....

Thanks for your time reading & replying.

Definitely the 12gb

Get the 12gb version, given that its price is only 8% above the 10gb model

if you are gonna leave it stock get the bottom one, if you are gonna oc get the top one.

I wouldn't pay $1000 for a 3080 if you put a gun to my head in July of 2022.

 

Get a 6900XT for $700 (Buy it Now) off eBay. It's a faster card anyway and the 16GB of VRAM is good for productivity stuff. I saturate the 12GB of VRAM in my 6700XT in Capture One and Photoshop all the time.
